Highway engineering
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Highway engineering is an engineering discipline branching from civil engineering that involves the
planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of roads, bridges, and tunnels to ensure safe and
effective transportation of people and goods.!"IZI15] Highway engineering became prominent towards the
latter half of the 20th Century after World War 2. Standards of highway engineering are continuously being
improved. Highway engincers must take into account future traffic flows, design of highway
intersections/interchanges, geometric alignment and design, highway pavement materials and design,
structural design of pavement thickness, and pavement maintenance.!

History
The beginning of road construction could be dated to the time of the Romans.!] With the advancement of
technology from carriages pulled by two horses to vehicles with power equivalent to 100 horses, road
development had to follow suit. The construction of moder highways did not begin until the late 19th to
early 20th century.)
The first research dedicated to highway engincering was initiated in the United Kingdom with the
introduction of the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL), in 1930.2] In the USA, highway engineering
became an important discipline with the passing of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1944, which aimed to
connect 90% of cities with a population of 50,000 or more.!2) With constant stress from vehicles which
grew larger as time passed, improvements to pavement were needed. With technology out of date, in 1958
the construction of the first motorway in Great Britain (the Preston bypass) played a major role in the
development of new pavement technology.)
Design policies standards used in the United States are typically based on publications of the Ameri
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials as well as research promulgated by the
Transportation Research Board, the Institute of Transportation Engineers, the Federal Highway
Administration, and the Department of Transportation,
Planning and development

Highway planning involves the estimation of current and future traffic volumes on a road network,
Highway engineers strive to predict and analyze all possible civil impacts of highway systems. Some
considerations are the adverse effects on the environment, such as noise pollution, air pollution, water
13]
pollution, and other ecological impacts.
Financing
Developed countries are constantly faced with high maintenance cost of aging transportation highways. The
growth of the motor vehicle industry and accompanying economic growth has generated a demand for
safer, better performing, less congested highways. The growth of commerce, educational institutions,
housing, and defense have largely drawn from government budgets in the past, making the financing of
public highways a challenge.{4l
The multipurpose characteristics of highways, economic environment, and the advances in highway pricing
technology are constantly changing. Therefore, the approaches to highway financing, management, and
maintenance are constantly changing as well.(51
Environmental impact assessment
The economic growth of a community is dependent upon highway development to enhance mobility.
However, improperly planned, designed, constructed, and maintained highways can disrupt the social and
economic characteristics of any size community. Common adverse impacts to highway development
include damage of habitat and bio-diversity, creation of air and water pollution, noise/vibration generation,
damage of natural landscape, and the destruction of a community's social and cultural structure. Highway
infrastructure must be constructed and maintained to high qualities and standards."
There are three key steps for integrating environmental considerations into the planning, scheduling,
construction, and maintenance of highways. This process is known as an Environmental Impact
Assessment, or EIA, as it systematically deals with the following elements: (1
1. Identification of the full range of possible impacts on the natural and socio-economic environment!®l
2. Evaluation and quantification of th
3. Formulation of measures to avoid, mitigate, and compensate for the anticipated impacts!
impacts'®l

Highway safety
Highway systems generate the highest price in human injury and death, as nearly 50 million persons are
injured in traffic accidents every year, not including the 1.2 million deaths.!7] Road traffic injury is the
single leading cause of unintentional death in the first five decades of human life.{8)
‘Management of safety stematic process that strives to reduce the occurrence and severity of traffic
accidents. The man/machine interaction with road traffic systems is unstable and poses a challenge to
highway safety management. The key for increasing the safety of highway systems is to design, build, and
maintain them to be far more tolerant of the average range of this man/machine interaction with highways.

Technological advancements in highway engineering have improved the design, construction, and
maintenance methods used over the years. These advancements have allowed for newer highway safety
innovations./4)
By ensuring that all situations and opportunities are identified, considered, and implemented as appropriate,
they can be evaluated in every phase of highway planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation
to increase the safety of our highway systems.|)
Design
The most appropriate location, alignment, and shape of a highway are selected during the design stage.
Highway design involves the consideration of three major factors (human, vehicular, and roadway) and
how these factors interact to provide a safe highway. Human factors include reaction time for braking and
steering, visual acuity for traffic signs and signals, and car-following behaviour. Vehicle considerations
include vehicle size and dynamics that are essential for determining lane width and maximum slopes, and
for the selection of design vehicles. Highway engineers design road geometry to ensure stability of vehicles
when negotiating curves and grades and to provide adequate sight distances for undertaking passing
maneuvers along curves on two-lane, two-way roads.|3]
Geometric design
Highway and transportation engineers must meet many safety, service, and performance standards when
designing highways for certain site topography. Highway geometric design primarily refers to the visible
elements of the highways. Highway engineers who design the geometry of highways must also consider
environmental and social effects of the design on the surrounding infrastructure.
There are certain considerations that must be properly addressed in the design process to successfully fit a
highway to a site's topography and maintain its safety. Some of these design considerations include:(9)
= Design speed
= Design traffic volume
= Number of lanes
= Level of Service (LOS)
= Sight Distance
= Alignment, super-elevation, and grades
= Cross section
= Lane width
= Horizontal and vertical clearance
The operational performance of a highway can be seen through drivers’ reactions to the design
considerations and their interaction.)
Materials
The materials used for roadway construction have progressed with time, dating back to the early days of the
Roman Empire. Advancements in methods with which these materials are characterized and applied to
{10}
pavement structural design has accompanied this advancement in materials.
hpsien wikipedia orgikiHighhvay_enginoering anneeo1s Highway angnaring - Wikipedia, the fro ecyclopodia
There are two major types of pavement surfaces - Portland cement concrete (PCC) and hot-mix asphalt
(HMA). Underneath this wearing course are material layers that give structural support for the pavement
system, These underlying surfaces may include either the aggregate base and subbase layers, or treated base
and subbase layers, and additionally the underlying natural or treated subgrade. These treated layers may be
cement-treated, asphalt-treated, or lime-treated for additional support.!!°!
Flexible pavement design
A flexible, or asphalt, or Tarmac pavement typically consists of three or four layers. For a four layer
flexible pavement, there is a surface course, base course, and subbase course constructed over a compacted,
natural soil subgrade, When building a three layer flexible pavement, the subbase layer is not used and the
base course is placed directly on the natural subgrade.!!!1
A flexible pavement's surface layer is constructed of hot-mix asphalt (HMA).Unstabilized aggregates are
typically used for the base course; however, the base course could also be stabilized with asphalt, Foamed
Bitumen, Portland cement, or another stabilizing agent. The subbase is generally
constructed from local aggregate material, while the top of the subgrade is often stabilized with cement or
lime.!!]
With flexible pavement, the highest stress occurs at the surface and the stress decreases as the depth of the
pavement increases. Therefore, the highest quality material needs to be used for the surface, while lower
quality materials can be used as the depth of the pavement increases. The term "flexible" is used because of
the asphalts ability to bend and deform slightly, then return to its original position as each traffic load is
applied and removed. It is possible for these small deformations to become permanent, which can lead to
rutting in the wheel path over an extended time.[!!]
The service life of a flexible pavement is typically designed in the range of 15 to 20 years.('2) Required
thicknesses of each layer of a flexible pavement vary widely depending on the materials used, magnitude,
number of repetitions of traffic loads, environmental conditions, and the desired service life of the
pavement. Factors such as these are taken into consideration during the design process so that the pavement
will last for the designed life without excessive distresses.[!"]
Rigid pavement design
Rigid pavements are generally used in constructing airports and major highways, such as those in the
interstate highway system. In addition, they commonly serve as heavy-duty industrial floor slabs, port and
harbor yard pavements, and heavy-vehicle park or terminal pavements. Like flexible pavements, rigid
highway pavements are designed as all-weather, long-lasting structures to serve modern day high-speed
traffic. Offering high quality riding surfaces for safe vehicular travel, they function as structural layers to
distribute vehicular wheel loads in such a manner that the induced stresses transmitted to the subgrade soil
are of acceptable magnitudes.{!2]
Portland cement concrete (PCC) is the most common material used in the construction of rigid pavement
slabs, The reason for its popularity is due to its availability and the economy. Rigid pavements must be
designed to endure frequently repeated traffic loadings. The typical designed service life of a rigid
pavement is between 30 and 40 years, lasting about twice as long as a flexible pavement.!!2]
hpsien wikipedia orgikiHighhvay_enginoering saneeo1s Highway angnaring - Wikipedia, the fro ecyclopodia
One major design consideration of rigid pavements is reducing fatigue failure due to the repeated stresses of
traffic, Fatigue failure is common among major roads because a typical highway will experience millions of
wheel passes throughout its service life. In addition to design criteria such as traffic loadings, tensile
stresses due to thermal energy must also be taken into consideration, As pavement design has progressed,
many highway engineers have noted that thermally induced stresses in rigid pavements can be just as
intense as those imposed by wheel loadings. Due to the relatively low tensile strength of conerete, thermal
stresses are extremely important to the design considerations of rigid pavements.!!21
Rigid pavements are generally constructed in three layers - a prepared subgrade, base or subbase, and a
conerete slab. The concrete slab is constructed according to a designed choice of plan dimensions for the
slab panels, directly influencing the intensity of thermal stresses occurring within the pavement. In addition
to the slab panels, temperature reinforcements must be designed to control cracking behavior in the slab.
Joint spacing is determined by the slab panel dimensions.l'2)
Three main types of concrete pavements commonly used are Jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP),
jointed reinforced concrete pavement (JRCP), and continuously reinforced concrete pavements (CRCP).
JPCP’s are constructed with contraction joints which direct the natural cracking of the pavement. These
pavements do not use any reinforcing steel. JRCP’s are constructed with both contraction joints and
reinforcing steel to control the cracking of the pavement. High temperatures and moisture stresses within
the pavement creates cracking, which the reinforcing steel holds tightly together. At transverse joints, dowel
bars are typically placed to assist with transferring the load of the vehicle across the cracking. CRCP’s
solely rely on continuous reinforcing steel to hold the pavement’ natural transverse cracks together.
Prestressed conerete pavements have also been used in the construction of highways; however, they are not
as common as the other three, Prestressed pavements allow for a thinner slab thickness by partly or wholly
neutralizing thermally induced stresses or loadings.(!2
Flexible pavement overlay design
Over the service life of a flexible pavement, accumulated traffic loads may cause excessive rutting or
cracking, inadequate ride quality, or an inadequate skid resistance. These problems can be avoided by
adequately maintaining the pavement, but the solution usually has excessive maintenance costs, or the
pavement may have an inadequate structural capacity for the projected traffic loads.{!3]
Throughout a highway’s life, its level of serviceability is closely monitored and maintained. One common
method used to maintain a highway’s level of serviceability is to place an overlay on the pavement’s
surface.l13)
There are three general types of overlay used on flexible pavements: asphalt-conerete overlay, Portland
cement concrete overlay, and ultra-thin Portland cement concrete overlay. The concrete layer in a
conventional PCC overlay is placed unbonded on top of the flexible surface. The typical thickness of an
ultra-thin PCC overlay is 4 inches (10 cm) or less.!!3]
There are three main categories of flexible pavement overlay design procedures:!!9)
1. Component Analysis Design
2. Deflection-Based Design
hpsien wikipedia orgikiHighhvay_enginoering anescons Higty engineering Whip, ttre ocylopeda
Rigid pavement overlay design
‘Near the end of a rigid pavement’s service life, a decision must be made to either fully reconstruct the worn
pavement, or construct an overlay layer. Considering an overlay can be constructed on a rigid pavement
that has not reached the end of its service life, itis often more economically attractive to apply overlay
layers more frequently. The required overlay thickness for a structurally sound rigid pavement is much
smaller than for one that has reached the end of its service life. Rigid and flexible overlays are both used for
rehabilitation of rigid pavements such as JPCP, JRCP, and CRCP.(!41
There are three subcategories of rigid pavement overlays that are organized depending on the bonding
condition at the pavement overlay and existing slab interface.{!41
1, Bonded overlays
2. Unbonded overlays
3. Partially bonded overlays
Drainage system design
Designing for proper drainage of highway systems is crucial to their success. Regardless of how well other
aspects of a road are designed and constructed, adequate drainage is mandatory for a road to survive its
entire service life. Excess water in the highway structure can inevitably lead to premature failure, even if
the failure is not catastrophic.l!5]
Each highway drainage system is site-specific and can be very complex. Depending on the geography of the
region, many methods for proper drainage may not be applicable. The highway engineer must determine
which situations a particular design process should be applied, usually a combination of several appropriate
methods and materials to direct water away from the structure.l!5]
Erosion control is a crucial component in the design of highway drainage systems. Surface drainage must
be allowed for precipitation to drain away from the structure. Highways must be designed with a slope or
crown so that runoff water will be directed to the shoulder of the road, into a ditch, and away from the site,
Designing a drainage system requires the prediction of runoff and infiltration, open channel analysis, and
culvert design for directing surface water to an appropriate location.l15]
Construction, maintenance, and management
Highway construction
Highway construction is generally preceded by detailed surveys and subgrade preparation.!3! The methods
and technology for constructing highways has evolved over time and become increasingly sophisticated.
This advancement in technology has raised the level of skill sets required to manage highway construction
projects. This skill varies from project to project, depending on factors such as the project's complexity and
nature, the contrasts between new construction and reconstruction, and differences between urban region
(16)
and rural region projects.

There are a number of elements of highway construction which can be broken up into technical and
commercial elements of the system.{'®] Some examples of cach are listed below:
= Technical Elements
= Materials
= Material quality
= Installation techniques
= Traffic
= Commercial Elements
Contract understanding
Environmental aspects
Political aspects
Legal aspects
Public concerns
Typically, construction begins at the lowest el
upward. By reviewing the geotechnical specifications of the project, information is given about:
evation of the site, regardless of the project type, and moves
(16)
= Existing ground conditions
= Required equipment for excavation, grading, and material transportation to and from the site
= Properties of materials to be excavated
= Dewatering requirements necessary for below-grade work
= Shoring requirements for excavation protection
= Water quantities for compaction and dust control
Subbase course construction
A subbase course is a layer designed of carefully selected materials that is located between the subgrade
and base course of the pavement. The subbase thickness is generally in the range of 4 to 16 inches, and it is
designed to withstand the required structural capacity of the pavement section.16]
Common materials used for a highway subbase include gravel, crushed stone, or subgrade soil that is
stabilized with cement, fly ash, or lime, Permeable subbase courses are becoming more prevalent because
of their ability to drain infiltrating water from the surface. They also prevent subsurface water from
reaching the pavement surface.l!6]
When local material costs are excessively expensively or the material requirements to increase the
structural bearing of the sub-base are not readily available, highway engineers can increase the bearing
capacity of the underlying soil by mixing in Portland cement, foamed asphalt, or with emerging
technologies such as the cross-linking styrene acrylic polymer that increases the California Bearing Ratio of
in-situ materials by a factor 4 — 6('71
Base course construction
The base course is the region of the pavement section that is located directly under the surface course. If
there is a subbase course, the base course is constructed directly about this layer. Otherwise, it is built
directly on top of the subgrade. Typical base course thickness ranges from 4 to 6 inches and is governed by
underlying layer properties.
hpsien wikipedia orgikiHighhvay_enginoering anesiez01s Highway onginewing - Wikipedia, the fr encyclopedia
Heavy loads are continuously applied to pavement surfaces, and the base layer absorbs the majority of these
stresses. Generally, the base course is constructed with an untreated crushed aggregate such as crushed
stone, slag, or gravel. The base course material will have stability under the construction traffic and good
drainage characteristics.!'9)
The base course materials are often treated with cement, bitumen, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, fly
ash, or lime, These treatments provide improved support for heavy loads, frost susceptibility, and serves as
a moisture barrier between the base and surface layers.(!4
Surface course construction
Main article: wearing course
There are two most commonly used types of pavement surfaces used in highway construction: hot-mix
asphalt and Portland cement concrete. These pavement surface courses provide a smooth and safe riding
surface, while simultaneously transferring the heavy traffic loads through the various base courses and into
the underlying subgrade soils.{'9)
Hot-mix asphalt (HMA) layers
Hot-mix asphalt surface courses are referred to as flexible pavements. The Superpave System was
developed in the late 1980s and has offered changes to the design approach, mix design, specifications, and
16)
quality testing of materials,
The construction of an effective, long-lasting asphalt pavement requires an experienced construction crew,
committed to their work quality and equipment control.{!4)
Construction issues:
Asphalt mix segregation
= Laydown
Compaction
Joints
A prime coat is a low viscosity asphalt that is applied to the base course prior to laying the HMA surface
course. This coat bonds loose material, creating a cohesive layer between the base course and asphalt
surface.!16]
A tack coat is a low viscosity asphalt emulsion that is used to create a bond between an existing pavement
surface and new asphalt overlay, Tack coats are typically applied on adjacent pavements (curbs) to assist
the bonding of the HMA and concrete.!'6]
Portland cement conerete (PCC)
Portland cement concrete surface courses are referred to as rigid pavements, or concrete pavements. Ther
are three general classifications of concrete pavements - jointed plain, jointed reinforced, and continuously
reinforced l'61
hpsien wikipedia orgikiHighhvay_enginoering aiesiez01s Highway onginewing - Wikipedia, the fr encyclopedia
Traffic loadings are transferred between sections when larger aggregates in the PCC mix inter-lock
together, or through load transfer devices in the transverse joints of the surface. Dowel bars are used as
load-transferring devices to efficiently transfer loads across transverse joints while maintaining the joint’s
horizontal and vertical alignment. Tie-bars are deformed steel bars that are placed along longitudinal joints
to hold adjacent pavement sections in place.l!61
Highway maintenance
The overall purpose of highway maintenance is to fix defects and preserve the pavement's structure and
serviceability. Defects must be defined, understood, and recorded in order to select an appropriate
maintenance plan. Defects differ between flexible and rigid pavements.(!8]
There are four main objectives of highway maintenance:
= repair of functional pavement defects
= extend the functional and structural service life of the pavement
= maintain road safety and signage
= keep road reserve in acceptable condition
Through routine maintenance practices, highway systems and all of their components can be maintained to
their original, as-built condition.!8)
Project management
Project management involves the organization and structuring of project activities from inception to
completion. Activities could be the construction of infrastructure such as highways and bridges or major
and minor maintenance activities related to constructing such infrastructure. The entire project and involved
activities must be handled in a professional manner and completed within deadlines and budget. In addition,
minimizing social and environmental impacts is essential to successful project management..!9]
